The Invisible Woman

Watch Trailer Director: Ralph Fiennes
Writer(s): Abi Morgan and Claire Tomalin
Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones and Kristin Scott Thomas
Awards: Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Achievement in Costume Design

Nelly, a happily-married mother and schoolteacher, is haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back in time to follow the story of her relationship with Charles Dickens with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity.

Dickens – famous, controlling and emotionally isolated within his success – falls for Nelly, who comes from a family of actors. The theatre is a vital arena for Dickens as a brilliant amateur actor; a man more emotionally coherent on the page or on the stage than in life. As Nelly becomes the focus of Dickens’ passion and his muse, for both of them the secrecy is the price, and for Nelly a life of invisibility.

Science on Screen®: 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

Watch Trailer Director: Stanley Kubrick
Writer(s): Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke
Cast: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood and William Sylvester
Awards: Won an Academy Award for Best Special Visual Effects, 1969

Return

Anthropology and Human Evolution: Past, Present, and Future

A discussion on how far we’ve come and what the next step in evolution will look like with paleo-artist John Gurche.

About the film

Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award-winning achievement is an allegorical puzzle on the evolution of man and a compelling drama of man vs. machine. Kubrick first visits the prehistoric age-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality.

About the speaker

John Gurche’s award winning work has appeared on the covers of National Geographic, Discover and Natural History Magazines and his work can be seen at the Smithsonian, the Field Museum, and the American Museum of Natural History, among others. Of prime importance in this work are scientific accuracy and a high degree of realism that will transport the viewer in time. His work focuses especially on human origins and on dinosaurs, but includes other ancient life as well.

Sibs Weekend: THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS

Watch Trailer Director: Wes Anderson
Writer(s): Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson
Cast: Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Danny Glover, Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Bill Murray

Running Suits and Cowboy Hats!

FREE POPCORN IF YOU COME DRESSED AS A CHARACTER!!! (No smoking in the theater)

Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) was a successful attorney who had three children with his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston), an archaeologist. Each of the Tenenbaum kids was a precocious genius: Chas (Ben Stiller) made a killing as a child investor. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior tennis champ and three-time U.S. Nationals winner. The adopted Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright who won a 50,000-dollar Braverman Grant in the ninth grade. When Royal abruptly left his family, however, it was the beginning of two decades of betrayal and failure that would scar the Tenenbaums for life. Their past resentments are bitterly held against Royal when he suddenly reappears, claiming to have six weeks to live and a desire to reconnect with his family. Typically, Royal’s story is a sham, but his presence and sincere desire for absolution soon have a profound effect on the Tenenbaums, who are each dealing with thwarted desires and relationships. Among them are Richie’s lifelong love for Margot, who’s unhappily married to Raleigh St.Clair (Bill Murray) and Etheline’s eccentric engagement to Henry Sherman (Danny Glover), who wishes to marry her. The Royal Tenenbaums also co-stars Owen Wilson and features narration provided by Alec Baldwin.

REACT to FILM Screening: Who Is Dayani Cristal? *Date of screening changed to 2/20

Watch Trailer Director: Marc Silver
Writer(s): Mark Monroe
Cast: Gael García Bernal
Awards: Cinematography Award Sundance Film Festival World Documentary

An anonymous body in the Arizona desert sparks the beginning of a real-life human drama. The search for identity leads us back across a continent to seek out the people left behind and the meaning of a mysterious tattoo.

August 3, 2010, Pima County, Arizona—Deep in the sun-blistered Sonora desert beneath a cicada tree, border police discover a decomposing male body. Lifting a tattered T-shirt, they expose a tattoo that reads “Dayani Cristal.” Who is this person? What brought him here? How did he die? And who—or what—is Dayani Cristal?

Marc Silver’s masterful documentary assembles the answers to these questions using beautifully realized dramatic sequences with famed actor Gael García Bernal. Silver and Bernal reconstruct this John Doe, denied an identity at his point of death, into a living and breathing human being with a full and deeply engaging life story. Unfolding like a thrilling crime drama, the film builds to an emotionally devastating climax. Who Is Dayani Cristal? tells the story of one migrant who found himself in that deadly stretch of desert known as “the corridor of death” and how one life becomes testimony to the tragic results of the U.S. war on immigration.
